• [[feelings]]
• [[work]]
• yesterday I had a lovely evening with [[J]] and [[C]].
• [[straight like an arrow]]

• [[Jetsunma pagma drolma la chag tsal lo]]

• [[Berni]] and [[Carolina]] have been visiting and I’m thankful for it
  • We had a good day yesterday despite the situation.
• [[Lady Burup]]‘s death is shattering. I am changed even as I try to stay true to how I was with her.
  • I’ve been thinking, remembering and crying a lot. Also thinking about the [[futures lost]].

• I am shattered by the death of [[Lady Burup]] yesterday, [[2026-08-23]], and for her suffering since Thursday when she got sick suddenly and critically. I am struggling to process what happened and am submerged in grief.

• Various issues have led to me to try other browsers. I used [[Microsoft Edge]], but I really dislike how it inherits [[Chromium]]’s 90-day history retention.
  • [[Firefox]] is Firefox. It’s good until there’s that one page that wasn’t tested with it. WebGL performance is only decent. Either way, I’m specifically using Firefox Developer Edition. And while setting it up for beyond testing web pages:
    • [[Rayleigh Moderation]] is broken in various ways. Probably just the fault of mine. But I’m not in the mood to touch some frontend code.
  • Tried out [[Vivaldi]]. Somehow, Rayleigh Moderation is broken once again. This time, it was about ‘access keys.’. They just… didn’t work?
  • Even Chromium itself is rotten in some way. Actually, I think it æffects all Chromium-based browsers in some way? There’s this particular issue that randomly locks up inputs for a tab. That happening for Microsoft Edge motivated me to look at other browsers. And the specific Chromium build I used didn’t play video on Rayleigh Moderation.
  • For Rayleigh Moderation, I ended up dedicating [[Google Chrome]] for it.
    Vivaldi seems really nice, but syncing doesn’t actually carry over the visited link colors. Firefox does, so I’m going to try using that for the next months. There’s some benefits already:
    • [[uBlock Origin]] will be working fine and well for the foreseeable future.
    • Seems stable on large pages?
    • fop
• Removing the color of a:visited is inherently the root of all evil. [[Don’t eat the snow where the dragons go]] from now.

• Flancia is the revolution against [[Moloch]].
  • I will go into the [[heart of Moloch]] and strike, strike, strike them down if I have to! As I would their agents; but I would rather forgive, yet not forget; make amends, offer reparations to those we’ve hurt and those that Moloch and his (is it a he?) agents have hurt, help humanity and our friends heal and move on towards a better future.

• Took down the old, empty [[ATProto]] personal data server. It took that long, but it was a simple systemctl disable pds.service --user and systemctl stop pds.service --user.
• There is something beautiful about open source projects. I’ve curated [[BeepBox]] to the [[Flashpoint Archive]]. Curations are primarily meant to be playable, no matter what. But since it’s an open source project, there is bound to be plenty of ‘stuff’ to put into a curation.
  Usually, I’d just clone a project’s [[Git]] repository with git clone https://github.com/johnnesky/beepbox.git --mirror, maybe [[repack it]] and stuff that in the curation as ‘bonus content.’. But software is beyond Git histories. That existence usually has a purpose. Just reading on BeepBox‘s releases on GitHub when there’s this first v0.1 release; that it made me realize: why. BeepBox is already self-preserved, even to its compiled builds and community creations. But I don’t think I would‘ve cared about pre-release .swf files, had I not been interested in the Flashpoint Archive. People should care, and now it’ll be a click away with little to no setup.
• It was [[Bloxel]] day. Nothing strange happened, weirdly enough. Other than [[Bouyer]] giving a speech about its community.
• And it’s weird! I have something similar to say about a fetish game that I have zero interest with. Community is always strong, no matter what it is.

• …and I coded with [[Gemini]] very nicely tonight.
• [[zine]]!

• It’s a bit odd that completely independently, I’m using; or have called stuff “silver.”. Including:
  • The note taking software [[SilverBullet]].
  • A fictional universe / corporation called [[Silver Forest]].
  • A server named “Soft Silver.”.
  • Think I might just need to look into [[Microsoft Silverlight]] for laughs and giggles, as is a deprecated technology.

• Getting into [[felting]]? I picked up a felting kit. It seems excessively trivial for what it is.

• Back here noding!
  • I keep thinking that I’d like to make web noding work better for me and others, to make it more likely/easier to journal.
  • But honestly what is missing for me sometimes is time 1. in front of a computer with an actual keyboard and 2. not working (for G) and 3. not coding (e.g. the Agora).
  • Like meditation, maybe I’ve been doing it less than before and less than I would like to because I fail to designate a concrete time for it.
  • Also -> [[zine]] :)

• These are some of my commitments:
  • [[I will do what I can]]

• As I write this I’m on the train back to [[Zürich]] with my mum; we spent three very nice days together in [[Paris]].
• I’m sad because of the breakup with [[KM]], and in particular because of the conflict/chastising that followed. I hope we can regain better communication soon.

• Been curating some games and animations for the [[Flashpoint Archive]]. Mostly explicit works, and some open source projects I’ve discovered.
  • Whatever it is, I do find it interesting to see how certain [[furry]] sub-cultures dealt with [[Adobe Flash]] at the time. Not a whole lot has changed, it seems.
    • And maybe stumble upon some drama. uh… I’d like to forget about it.
  • On archival, there does seem to be a shift towards obscure content of lately. I am much late to the party from before 2020, so the popular gaming portals are already checked. But for a specific sub-culture, to say the least, might not been thoroughly checked by other curators. There are some other ‘specialists’ in their field, I know that. But open source projects strangely don’t seem to be curated as much. Curation is a bit of a two-step process: collect and annotate. For explicit media, this can become rather numbing when trying to figure out tags, or what species a character is. Flashpoint doesn’t have imageboard levels of tagging, but it can still feel overwhelming. Given the verification backlog, I’m not sure if I’m doing it right.

• [[2026-08-01]] happened and it was memorable in many ways, some sad and some joyful.
• Today I woke up late after going to bed very late and I spent the day with my mum (and Burup); we played [[canasta]] and then went to the lake at [[Tiefenbrunnen]], we had a great time.
• Then on the way back home I passed by the [[Wäscherei]] to see who was around/if anything needed doing and to do some work.
• An impromptu todo:
  • Review [[zine]] and maybe start the short prose contribution? The city theme is not strong in my contribution so far!
  • Review one of my [[dragon tasks]] at work, probably the document that’s been in continuous revision for six months now (yikes)
  • Do something more strictly [[Bitwäscherei]] related, maybe write that wiki importer that I added to the [[agora bridge]] scope some time ago? It would make sense given the sources that the internal Agora needs to import.
  • I talked about the [[Agora]] and linking notes with Adam!

• [[SilverBullet]]+ stopped syncing. The client was silent about it and no errors were shown. The logs did show that it was unauthorized to access remote files.
  • To fix this, I just removed and added its saved credentials.
  • A few empty conflict files were created.
  • I was under the assumption that the sb CLI tool could sync a space to the filesystem. It does not. This functionality only exists in SilverBullet+. As I only edit on the web client served by my space, I don’t particularly like having this closed source dependency.
    • Use [[Syncthing]]? Setting up desktop machines is easy. But what about a server?

• I love [[KM]]… but :(
• I ended up going to the [[Zentralwäscherei]] around 17 and stayed until 5am.
• I spoke to [[Simon]] about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]], he has very nice ideas! I think we are building the Commons together.
• I spoke to many people and danced, it was cathartic.
• I helped fix a computer (to replace one that was broken), tried to help here and there and did some visuals. Many people were doing music and visuals and it was wonderful.

2026-07-30

Back again after enough hiatus to forget what I’m doing. It is now monsoon season, and so I would like to start the fall garden. I will likely make notes about that. I just got back from open sauce a few days ago. That was a great time and I also need to make notes from my readings. But I also need to catch up all the notes I started. I don’t remember if I fixed the templates or not, but I guess I’ll find out soon.

• Thought and discussed some more about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]] :)
• I was going to return tonight to Zürich but I decided to stay one extra night and go to work straight from Ebnat-Kappel, work the second half of the day. I have multiple months of vacation saved up so I thought it was a good thing to self-gift (?) :)
• I met so many interesting people for the first time! Some that come to mind right away:
  • Ananda
  • Taras
  • Kim
  • Ting
  • Stefan
  • Markus
  • Monika
  • Adam
  • and many more!
  • Thank you all! (also all the people I already knew but got to know a lot better during this opportunity!)
  • Claire showed us a tarot of the future! Name incoming :)

• I’m writing this in [[Homemade]] just after hosting a discussion about the Commons and the [[Agora]]. It was great!
  • The whole three days here so far have been great; I am thankful for the experience.
  • The first day I came over with [[KM]] and [[David]], they stayed one night. We had a beautiful walk in the vicinity with an imposing view of the Alps.
  • Yesterday night I worked on setting up a local Agora for the [[Bitwäscherei]] space in Zürich, which [[SGMK}] is a part of.
  • Tomorrow I leave. I am looking forward to the last night and the last day — I plan to head bac kto Zürich, probably walking down the mountain to the train station, around 5-6PM on [[2026-07-28]].
  • I am writing this without really reading the screen, after a new friend of mine perhaps, while I watch a movie I don’t quite understand that is exclusively in German without subtitles :)
  • So these notes might be more disjointed and potentially lillegible than usual, although my standards are quite low many days, and to be honest maybe even rough unedited (even unseen) notes are better than no notes! And no notes has been the general standard in the last few months!

And then I thought about the [[zine]].

(I wished I could write to [[bouncepaw]] here, right here when I’m writing these notes, and then I realized this was possible. It is literally what I’m doing right now :) -> Wrote in Telegram.)

Today in the conversation associated with the [[Agora presentation]] (and thank you Simon!) [[dusjagr]] shared an LLM generated [[zine]] It didn’t quite work when we tried it (it was a demo, after all!) but I liked the idea and realization already a lot. It is a zine that is generated based on the content of some wikis that the LLM is aware of!

-> [[zine generator]] https://weiweiweiopen.github.io/peach-blossom-spring/

[[dusjagr]] also shared a beautiful tool to visualize [[timelines]] of [[the lifecycle of wikis]], e.g.

-> [[wiki lifecycle]] https://arai-eek.github.io/wiki-research/sgmk.html

I met many interesting people this weekend! So many. I feel very lucky indeed!

• [[twg bugs]]

• [[Simon]] told me about [[Stiftung für direkte Demokratie]]!

• Hosting [[Wafrn]]. https://wafrn.bunnynabbit.com/blog/BunnyNabbit
  • [[gabboman]] said it’s possible for existing PDSes to be used, but recommends using the one that comes with Wafrn. Decided to use it anyways since my previous PDS setup was weird and had issues, might as well replace it.
  • Raised an issue about a setup script.
  • Few nit picks.
    • [...] is always added to the end of blurbs no matter how short, breaking my link at the end.
    • Under different protocols and interfaces, the woot composer is inherently with flaws for its previews.
• Take previous PDS offline. Offline since [[2026-08-18]].

• Back here after a while! Enjoying the ride, but sometimes hoping for more time writing. Maybe it is beginning to happen?

• [[Wafrn]] seems interesting. I’ve heard of it before. But found out that it does accept migrations from existing [[ATProto]] accounts. https://wafrn.net/faq/AccountMigration.html#atproto-waf
  • I was under the assumption that Wafrn used its own PDS software. It does not. This does potentially make it trivial to integrate with an existing self-hosted PDS? Will need to ask questions before hosting a wafrn.

    • The related issue also caused problems with how Caddy wrote logs, which in turn prevented Caddy from serving. Again, not sure why, seemed like the process user root was changed to caddy.
      • The fix was deleting the log file.
    • The website content of the spacious nexus couldn’t be served by Caddy. As a quick fix, I copied the content to a place where Caddy can read.

• I started to move the current writings of [[Silver Forest]] to my SilverBullet space. It’s funny, but the universe wasn’t named after [[SilverBullet]]. Silver Forest was written in a [[MediaWiki]] instance hosted on a separate domain. I ended up not writing much there. The reason for the separate domain was for explicit content. I also ended up not writing anything of that matter. I think it’s best for the story to be generally non-explicit.
  • On explicit content: It’s not totally off grounds in various senses. But I’m getting the idea that maybe the database [[Good enough]] maintains a code of conduct. Misconduct can be documented, albeit without promotional language. Within this space, the writing remains mostly general and can be used as the grounding basis for whatever outside this reserved space.
  • I initially thought to conflate Silver Forest nodes with my personal notes. [[Aon Pooltoy]] for instance is my fursona and is also a character within the universe. I’m still not exactly sure on handling it, considering that the Silver Forest nodes are not set to be published on the [[Quartz]] site.
    • Q: Why have them unpublished?
      • A: It’s 5 AM. Hope this helps!
      • Think I’ll embrace on this. I did at points think that the wiki needed a source of truth. But Silver Forest wasn’t anything. It wasn’t a series of videos, nor is it a comic. It just wasn’t, until now. I think that maybe it can co-exist with the knowledge base. Though, I don’t think I’ll be maintaining it myself.
    • I decided on creating a separate directory for the Silver Forest nodes.
    • At a point I should stop caring. It’s a half-baked idea for years. Those exploring my musings on the [[Agora]] or the [[Git]] repository are to encounter it. To be fair, it probably works the most on my private SilverBullet space, given that the frontmatter and its wikilinks are displayed.

Got a little rusty on how this works over the past weeks (forgot where command pallate was, lol (view menu)), but started up again. Maybe I can get into a daily note habit. It’s been hot and windy. Dusty. Can’t wait til we get enough into the monsoon season to be able to dig some. Workshop and recyclables organization is in progress. Got a few plants growing Got thinking about plant cuttings, but turns out its time to plant them not take them, that’s a winter thing. So instead wanna focus on catching up the notes on the central projects. Sort of a weird coincidence, someone else who makes their notes public in a similar fashion (using org-roam, tho) had a note on convivial tools and a lot of good notes on that - made me deprioritize my own notes on that. Still will make the notes eventually, since I have my own way of wanting to do it

  • Of course, there’s plenty of prior art and thought around a [[slow web]].
    • There’s a summary and links on the Indieweb wiki.

• Blog carnivals are part of the slow web, for me at least.

  • It took me a long while to understand this. While site.standard.document records can store an editable copy of its documents. This isn’t required and its content field does not have a concrete standard. It’s intended for editor/viewing platforms like Leaflet.
    • This means that I’m not using standard.site as a means of synchronization. I already have too many forms of synchronization for the spacious nexus.
      • Though, I am just putting raw markdown for the textContent field. It could be possible to restore some data and file hierarchy with the path field. It’s not something I would rely on, but they’re here just in case the Git repositories explode, somehow.
• Quartz generates cover images. I should use those. Done.

  • Felt very UK focused. That’s probably the intention, but at least a mention of the climate effects on countries beyond Europe and why not the focus in this film would have been good.
  • Not a single mention of capitalism as the problem. Just generally talk of too much CO2 without much mention of the ideology that has driven that.
  • It felt quite technocratic. Technological and market solutions rather than radical political change.

  Recall the default .gitattributes from GitHub Desktop. * text=auto is a good default, but it can be made better for SilverBullet.
  So, I now have * eof=lf in the .gitattributes file. This is because SilverBullet+ syncs files with LF line endings.

2026-05-11

  • It’s a perfect opportunity for a little bit of technological liberation and a move to Linux.
  • Rather than a jump from one Big Tech ecosystem to another.

• Reflecting upon the use cases of current AI, they feel mostly boil down to doing something you could feasibly have done before, but now you can do it faster, and yourself rather than needing help from others.
  • I suppose that’s pretty much a description of all technology.
  • So the question is do you really need to do it that fast? How come? At what cost? (As with all technology).
  • If a technology can be used to increase emancipation, reduce toil, for all, without exploiting labour or nature, then good. If not, scrutiny is required.
  • AI can reduce toil, the others seem uncertain.

    • To describe LLMs as just a kind of fancy autocomplete seems a bit disingenous.
    • To me, LLMs/GenAI seems like a quite remarkable technology but currently with remarkably [[authoritarian technics]].
